Looking at the contact name displayed on the phone screen, Ye Xingchen’s mood improved a little.
He answered the voice call without hesitation, turned on the speaker, and took a bite of the freshly washed tomato.
“Hello? What’s wrong, Rou’er?”
Ye Xingchen’s voice was very gentle at this time as if nothing had happened just now. He thought to himself that he had beaten them up so badly just now. Now, this call could not be to scold him, right?
He couldn’t wait to hear how angry these people were.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Rou’er and the rest felt their hair stand on end. Chen Rou’er had also turned on the speaker, as Sun Min and the rest were afraid that Chen Rou’er would do something.
“Brother Xingchen, Zhang Peng and the others, their injuries are a little serious. They’re about to die. Can you lend me some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs on account of our friendship?”
Her voice was trembling. She was afraid that she would have no one to rely on after these three men died, and she was even more afraid that Ye Xingchen would side with Sun Min and the others after this.
After all, from the looks of the situation, no matter how many of them there were, they would not be able to defeat Ye Xingchen. Compared to relying on this group of people, Chen Rou’er wanted Ye Xingchen to change his mind and forgive her, then bring her to the safe house.
However, she did not expect Ye Xingchen to only say lightly after hearing this. “Oh, so what if they’re dead? They have to die sooner or later. What does their death have to do with me?”
He sipped the juice from the tomato as he bent over to the microphone. “Don’t tell me you think you can survive this snowstorm?”
Sun Min and the others felt a chill run down their spines.
This was their greatest fear.
The snow had sealed the city, and their neighborhood seemed to have become an isolated island. Other than the occasional official news, they could not see any news from other places.
Many of their good friends had also lost contact. They did not know if they had already frozen to death in the heavy snow.
In this extreme weather, there were already rumors of doomsday.
This snowstorm was a once-in-a-hundred-year event. It was even rare in thousands of years. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the end of the world. Moreover, half a month had passed, and the snow did not show any signs of stopping. Some people were starting to believe that it was the end of the world.
Chen Rou’er was even more afraid. Her hands tightened and she cried out shakily. “Brother Xingchen, 1 know I was wrong. 1 was wrong. I didn’t know what was good for me. 1 thought too highly of myself. You were so good to me, but I still treated you like that. L.Jt’s all my fault. I know I was wrong.”
“What do you think?” Ye Xingchen asked.”
On Chen Rou’er’s side, Sun Min nudged Chen Rou’er from behind, reminding her to get down to business.
Chen Rou’er sniffed, her voice sounding extremely pitiful. “Brother Xingchen, 1 remember that you bought quite a lot of medicine previously. Can you lend us some? Really, 1 beg you, Brother Xingchen.”
“I promise that after you lend us the medicine, we will never disturb you again!”
Ye Xingchen’s hand, which was about to open the fridge to take the beef, paused. He was stumped by Chen Rou’er’s words.
“Chen Rou’er, guess why I shot them with arrows? And a rusty arrow?”
“Of course I know they will be infected and die, but what are you doing? You actually came to borrow medicine from me? Borrowing medicine from me to save the people I want to kill?”
“Are you alright, Chen Rou’er? Did you freeze your brain?”
Ye Xingchen couldn’t even hold back his laughter. He even let out a few laughs as he spoke.
Sun Min and the others naturally thought of Ye Xingchen’s intentional act.
But now, they could only lower their heads and come to Ye Xingchen to borrow medicine.
They couldn’t just watch their companions die, but there was no medicine left everywhere. Even Doctor Lin didn’t have any left.
It wasn’t that Sun Min and the other women cherished the three men, but that if the three men were dead, then the few weak women wouldn’t be able to live for long.
Chen Rou’er panicked and cried even louder. “Please, Brother Xingchen, we were wrong. Please let them off this time. 1 promise, 1 promise that they will never come looking for trouble with you again!”
“Besides, it’s so dangerous outside now. We should help each other!”
“Don’t be so cold-blooded, Brother Xingchen. Would you be happy if they died? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll become like them?”
Without waiting for Chen Rou’er to continue, Ye Xingchen Chen interrupted her. “Yes, knowing that they are dying makes me very happy!”
Chen Rou’er choked.
Sun Min glared fiercely at Chen Rou’er and snatched the phone from her hands. “Hello, Ye Xingchen. I’m Sun Min. Do you remember that you came to our company for an interview before? When 1 interviewed you, I even gave you the highest score.”
Ye Xingchen had indeed gone to Sun Min’s company for an interview. That was because Father Ye was afraid that Ye Xingchen would lose all his family assets, so he kicked him out early and let him go to another company for an internship to learn how to manage.
But what if he had the highest score? Didn’t he still fail the interview in the end? Ye Xingchen knew that Sun Min was Zhang Peng’s cousin. At that time, she had indeed given him the highest score, but she was also the one who secretly removed his resume after that.
“Is there any point in telling me this now?”
On the other side, Lin Sijia had already begun to suture Zhang Peng’s wound. A shrill scream came through the receiver. Ye Xingchen was extremely satisfied, and his heart was filled with joy.
He couldn’t wait to run out and install a surveillance camera in the house so that he could watch their current situation in real-time.
Sun Min continued. “Xingchen, everyone’s in a precarious situation now. It’s all killing and plundering outside. Don’t be so reckless. You might still need us in the future.”
“This time, just this once, you lend us the medicine. I, Sun Min, will definitely remember this kindness of yours and repay you in the future.”
Ye Xingchen only found it funny. Why was this group of people more stupid than the last? “Kindness? Repay me?”
“How are you going to repay me?” he sneered. “I’m afraid that you’re not talking about repayment but revenge.”
“No, no, we’re not that kind of people.” Sun Min hurriedly explained.
But Ye Xingchen didn’t want to hear it anymore.
“What does it have to do with me what kind of people you are? I think it won’t be long before you all become one kind of people — dead people.”
People who had once harmed him?
How could they treat Ye Xingchen as a fool?!
